Technical Integrations

Enter it once. See it everywhere it belongs.

Most small businesses already have good tools. The trouble is they do not talk to each other, so your team retypes the same information and builds reports by hand. We connect the tools you already use, build simple dashboards, and create small custom apps where nothing else fits. Then we train your team until they run it themselves.

10+ years in product and technology including at Waymo and Workday.

Based in Loomis, CA. Serving Rocklin, Roseville, Granite Bay, Auburn, the Sacramento area, and remote.

Sound familiar?

Good tools, working alone.

When information lives in several places, your team becomes the connection between them. That is slow, and it is where mistakes creep in.

01

Typing the same thing three times

A new customer goes into the form, then the spreadsheet, then the accounting software. Every copy is a chance for a mistake.

02

Tools that do not talk to each other

Your calendar, your invoices and your customer list each know part of the story, and nobody sees the whole picture.

03

Reports built by hand

Answering a simple question, like how much work is booked next month, means pulling numbers from several places.

04

Spreadsheets holding the business together

One important spreadsheet, understood by one person, quietly runs a big part of the business.

05

A workaround for everything

Off-the-shelf software does most of what you need, and your team fills the gap with copy, paste and memory.

What we build

Connected systems, built around what you have.

We start with the tools you already pay for and your team already knows, and only add something new when it clearly earns its place.

01

Connect the tools you already use

Google Workspace, QuickBooks, your CRM or field-service software, website forms and spreadsheets, connected so information is entered once and flows where it needs to go.

02

Custom dashboards

One simple screen with the numbers you actually check: jobs booked, work in progress, money owed, and whatever else matters to your business.

03

Small custom apps

When nothing off the shelf fits a part of your process, a small, focused app built around exactly how your team does that work.

04

Cleanup and a single source of truth

Duplicate and mismatched records cleaned up, and a clear answer to where each kind of information lives.

Before and after

What it can look like.

Before

A new job is typed into a form, a spreadsheet, the calendar and the accounting software, and the weekly numbers come from an evening of copying and pasting.

After

The job is entered once and shows up on the calendar, in the customer record and in your books, and the weekly numbers are waiting on a dashboard when you want them.

An illustration of the kind of change we aim for, not a promise of specific results.

Fits what you already have

No rip-and-replace.

We do not ask you to move your whole business onto a new platform. We build on the software, accounts and spreadsheets you already use, so your team keeps working the way they know.

If a tool is truly holding you back, we will say so plainly and explain the trade-offs. The decision is always yours.

How we work

We build it, then stay until your team runs it.

A system nobody uses is not worth building. Adoption is part of the job, not an extra.

01

Learn how you work

We start with a conversation and a look at how work actually moves through your business today: the calls, the spreadsheets, the shortcuts.

02

Build around it

We build the system to fit the tools and habits you already have, and only change what needs changing.

03

Train until it sticks

We work alongside your team, answer questions, and adjust the system until using it is just how the work gets done.

04

Hand it over

Your team runs it on their own. Ongoing support is optional, and only for the things you cannot do yourselves.
